Advanced Anti-Colic Bottle

Placing the venting tube into boiling or hot liquid won’t damage it, but it may force liquid up the tube which can cause your bottle to leak when it’s assembled. We recommend following our ‘how to guide’ to make a feed.

All of our bottles except the 340ml version currently come with slow flow teats as standard, as they’re best for newborns and most parents generally stock up on bottles before baby arrives. Our 340ml bottle comes with a medium flow teat.

As your baby grows and can feed more quickly, you can buy faster flowing replacement teats.

We have medium flow teats, which most babies are ready for at around 3 months, and a fast flow teat which is best from around 6 months. The ages are only guides though - you know your baby better than anyone and will be able to tell when they’re ready for a faster flow.

All Tommee Tippee bottles are BPA-free. They’re made of a plastic called polypropylene that’s lightweight, easy to clean, and completely safe. BPA - that’s (CH₃)₂C(C₆H₄OH)₂ for you science geeks - is a chemical that’s been used in some plastics since the 1960s and it’s believed to mess around with your hormones. It’s generally not good, so we don’t use it.

Yes, our bottles love to look after your breast milk. We even have special lids that you can pop on to store your milk in the fridge or freezer. If you’re expressing and storing breast milk, our Express and Go™ range may be handy too - it features a clever pouch that you use to express, store, warm and feed (it’s our all-in-one show). This means there’s no need to transfer milk at any stage, so you’ll never lose a precious drop.

Yes. Our Natural Start and Advanced Anti-Colic bottles are made from polypropylene (PP) that can happily be recycled.

The air draws into the tube and through the star valve away from baby’s milk.

The star valve is a one-way system and seals with every gulp, it prevents milk travelling back up the tube to stop any leaks.

The small holes allow the steam to flow and reach the external surface of the teat and the internal surface of the hood.

PLEASE NOTE: It’s important that the silicone teat is not tightened on to base when self-sterilising in microwave to allow the steam to flow in.

The 50ml of water in the bottle will turn into steam when microwaved*. The steam reaches the temperature necessary to sterilise, killing viruses and 99.9% of bacteria. The steam travels around the bottle sterilising the surface of the tube and silicone valve and through the holes in the screw ring to reach the external surface of the teat and the internal surface of the hood.

*Based on microwaves from 700 to 1000 Watts.

Ensure the lid of the venting tube is fully closed before sterilising. You can do this by pressing the centre of the lid with your thumb.

Ensure the inside of the venting tube is thoroughly washed and dried before self-sterilising.

PLEASE NOTE: It’s important that the silicone teat is not tightened on to base when self-sterilising in a microwave to allow the steam to flow.

For peace of mind, all of our Tommee Tippee bottles are anti-colic as standard. This means they’re designed to minimise the amount of air that babies consume with their milk and for all babies, this can only be a good thing. However, if your baby does develop colic symptoms (about 20% of babies will) then that’s when we’d recommend using our Advanced Anti-Colic bottle. With an advanced vented tube, it draws air away from your baby’s milk, to help combat colic, gas and reflux. It’s our best bottle for reducing feeding discomfort. Our Natural Start bottles have an anti-colic valve in the teat which helps to reduce symptoms of colic by preventing excessive air from getting into your baby’s milk.
